Hi. Version .05 still.
Logged in as the admin. When I want to delete a member is asks me for my login and password again saying I must be an admin to delete. Is this really the way it is supposed to work or am I missing a setting somewhere?

| Ok. Thanks. Quite a pain when there's more that one user to delete. |

Just an FYI... If you delete them they can turn right around and sign up with the same name and email addy. If it's a bot doing it, it will happen more than likely.
If you lock them they cannot, and it serves the same purpose as deleting.

Switch the order of your title tags |

| It's an 'are you really sure'-type thing. Remember the effect it may have on topics the member partook in if you delete all their posts as opposed to locking the member!! |

| Following on from pdrg, Obviously when deleting members who have previously posted on the forum, will result in threads having 'n/a' against their posted lines instead of the previous member name. Is there a way, when we delete a member that their previous posts are shown as 'deleted member' instead of 'n/a'. |

I believe instead of deleteing them you could just switch their username to deleted member. But not sure what effects that would have but I think that may be an option |

| Switching their username to 'deleted member' can only be done once, I think the forum only allows unique usernames, no repeats. Good thought though! |

| It's possible to delete them and then use a small dbs script to set the 'n/a' to something else. I think I have already posted the script to do that, but I don't seem to be able to find it. |

I have changed it so if there is a post with a n/a for a member, it shows as "Foomer Member" and the profile is not clickable as shown in this topic: at Classic Motorcycling Australia
It is pretty easy to do if you know what you are doing...

| Again altering the members name to 'former member' or something else, can only done once. The forum only allows an unique username, no duplicates. |

No, what Dave is talking about is making changes to the forum files themselves to include a check to see if the member's username is n/a and writing "Former Member" instead, without a profile link if it is.

The restriction is enforced by the forum code, not the database, so it can be done from the DB side or a dbs file. |

Ahh that is what I was thinking was editing the database directly on this one. Sorry I guess I wasn't clear but also wasn't sure if it would work but in theory seemed like it would.  Glad the experts stepped in. |
